Oh darn, look what ended up on my trailer! A Wells Coyote. Best hill climb race car ever built. I got it for practically nothing but it needs a lot of love. However, just now I am finishing with my homebrew Hayabusa hill climb car I have spent the past year building from scratch, the Coyote will have to go straight to a back burner project. Since it was last raced with Colorado Hill Climb Association it has been robbed of its built subi engine and bus trans. It now has a ragged looking subi and type 1 trans from a sand rail. Probably going to need trans work to fix drive direction since it’s mid engine, and missing all the shift linkage. Sigh- another project 🙂
Lands End Hill Climb was last weekend and it was a total blast as usual. I got another win in the motorbike class and put the bug on the podium with a respectable 3rd place in Rally 2WD class behind a BMW stage rally winner and A Porsche GT3. But on my last run 3rd gear left the party and by the time I got back to the trailer my little engine oil consumption issue had developed into a full blown oil burning smoke show. I sure cannot complain for two and a half years of racing on a $100 transmission I got from Alykat and a 160K mile Subaru engine I got out of a $400 dollar car that I sold for $500 after I pulled the engine out. Now, can I get so lucky to replace them again so easily…PBR in the kegorator always waiting for any visitors!
Also big campout and party in the shop back yard april 27th-30th with anything and everything planned, some dirt bike rides, maybe some other toys, who knows. Should be some good people out. 3rd annual meow meow may day PARTY ( no actual massacre (except beers))!
